Disqus is da bomb!

I'm the small yellow sphere with a big grin.

That's me, that is.

Disqus deletes comments from Anonymous commenters that contain links (clickable and plain text) without putting them in the Spam folder. I've been flooded with these, recently. I only get a Blogger notification email for my information, which I delete.

I can Whitelist trusted commenters, so their comments appear immediately without me having to moderate them. Deep Joy!

My peeves:

1. I don't like is that I get a TON of Anonymous spam in my Blogger Comments -- thus if I ever switch back I shall have to delete those or things are going to be messy. Never got all that much with Blogger.

2. Wish the "recent comments" widget worked better with it not just showing post headings.

3. Not a fan of comment editing. It should at least show that a comment has been edited. (and preferably like FB show edit history)

1) Did the Anonymous spam appear immediately after you migrated? I'm wondering whether someone out there who doesn't like you & me has started a spam campaign.

My Anonymous spam comes in fits & starts. Nothing for ages then a load in one go.2) I don't like the fact that you can't see a preview of the comment.3) I'm a bit of a comment post-editor, as I'm always thinking of more/better things that I should have written just after I hit the Post button.

Hey! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I really enjoy reading your posts. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same subjects?Thank you!

About Me

I have a B.Sc.(Hons) in Electronic Engineering but no qualifications in Diet, Nutrition & Fitness, which is why I back-up what I write with links to high-quality evidence.

My suggestions must ALWAYS be checked by your Pharmacist/GP first, in case of contraindications with other medical conditions or medications that I don't know about. My suggestions are adjuncts to, NOT replacements for medication(s).

If symptoms improve, ask your GP about a reduction in medication(s), if it's/they're causing you problems.

Cheers, Nigel Kinbrum B.Sc.(Hons)Eng.
